FAQs for Ditchling Common
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Ditchling Common?
Burgess Hill station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Ditchling Common?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ditchling Common?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
